The eggs in the photo were my source of inspiration:
I was inspired to create a mixed media canvas featuring a trio of eggs inside of a homemade twig heart. I added lots of texture using a sand texture paste along with a stencil:
Here are the twigs that I gathered from my backyard to create the nest :)
I'm also linking this canvas up to the Paint Party Friday site:
